CASAMID® 873

CASAMID® 873 by Thomas Swan is an alcohol-soluble polyamide resin. It enhances ink performance by forming a flexible, durable film upon solvent evaporation. It offers excellent nitrocellulose compatibility and high softening point.

• It offers superior gelation resistance, preventing premature thickening during storage and application.
• It is particularly suited for high-performance food packaging inks due to its low odor formulation with stringent regulations.
• Its excellent solubility characteristics enable easy formulation in alcohol-based ink systems, ensuring smooth ink application and uniform print quality.
• CASAMID® 873 ensures smooth print quality, excellent adhesion, and fast drying in flexographic printing inks.
• It provides durability, anti-blocking properties, and enhanced gloss in lacquers and overprint varnishes, preventing adhesion between ink layers.
• It delivers superior bonding strength in lamination inks and enhances abrasion resistance in industrial coatings.
• It provides enhanced rub resistance, improving the longevity of printed materials.
• It has a shelf life of 12 months.
